Chemistry World September 16, 2009 Hayley Birch	Peering into Titan's haze A new study has thrown light on the processes that form organic molecules called polyynes in the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
Chemistry World September 15, 2009 Lewis Brindley	Super-thin batteries made from paper and algae Although the batteries have lower voltage and power density than conventional batteries, their low cost and flexibility hold great promise for applications where metal-based batteries are impractical.
Chemistry World September 15, 2009 Rajendrani Mukhopadhyay	Renaissance artworks analysed Researchers have combined two ion-beam analysis techniques to obtain more detailed information about the composition of paints used in Renaissance works of art.
Chemistry World September 14, 2009 Simon Hadlington	New 'on-off' membrane for drug delivery A team led by Daniel Kohane of Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, harnessed the thermosensitive properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to form the basis of the new system.
Chemistry World September 14, 2009 Hayley Birch	All that is small is not nano Mark Wiesner of Duke University, US, says it is too easy to tar all nanoparticles with the same brush. 'All that is small is not necessarily nano,' he says. 'You need to have that novel property. The question then becomes: what's the taxonomy of these nanomaterials?'
National Defense October 2009 Jean & Erwin	Cleaner, More Efficient Method for Capturing CO2 Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a screening method that would use ionic liquids -- a special type of molten salt that becomes liquid under the boiling point of water -- to separate carbon dioxide from its source.
National Defense October 2009 Jean & Erwin	Purer Water: A Single Atom Makes A Big Difference By substituting a single atom in a molecule widely used to purify water, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have created a decontaminant that researchers believe has a greater shelf life than other products currently on the market.
Chemistry World September 11, 2009 Nina Notman	Photographing flexible electronics Scientists in Germany have taken inspiration from photography to develop a fast, room temperature route to making flexible electronic components, which could lead to low cost flexible solar cells and other flexible electronic devices.
Chemistry World September 11, 2009 Tom Bond	Just heat and heal A polymer system based on weak, reversible bonds that can heal itself when heated has been created by UK and US chemists. The new polymers could be further developed and used in the aerospace and other industries, say the researchers.
Popular Mechanics September 11, 2009 Andrew Moseman	How to Make a (More) Environmentally Friendly Rocket Fuel Every NASA space shuttle launch leaves a huge cloud of exhaust in its wake, and some nasty chemicals lurk in the exhaust.
